Modern Furniture, by the glittering simplicity and geometry of polished metal, shaped plywood, plastic, composite fibers, glass, and an ever-increasing range of new materials, is a tremendous departure from all furniture design that had gone before it. Modern furniture made a clean break from dark or gilded carved wood and richly patterned fabrics to give way to sleek minimalist lines, functional designs, and intelligent use of contemporary materials. Prior to the modernist design movement, there was a clear emphasis on furniture as ornament. Thus, the modern movement sought a clean break from centuries of design tradition and focuses on newness, originality, and technical innovation to produce furniture that is both beautiful and functional.
